SineWave TechnologyHow Does SineWave Work?SineWave AdvantagesSineWave technology from Simondsprovides providesan aggressivebroachingbroachingSimonds SawInternationalan aggressiveaction in the cut, enhancing cutting ability, reducing work time and increasing blade life.It incorporates a series of “ramps” on the back edge of bandsaw blades, which allowsbandsaw machines to exert more force into a cut without increasing machine pressure.whichThe “rocking” motion of SineWave ensures less tooth to work piece contact, whichincreases penetration for faster cutting. Cuts work hardened materials30-40% faster. Can double blade life. Makes cutting rate more consistent.How Do I Order SineWave? Determine maximum cross-sectiondimension of all materials cut. Determine your required aggressiveness of the cutting action –light, moderate or aggressive. Call your Simonds sales personfor applications assistance.Ramp depth and length can be engineered to a customer’s specific cutting applications,operating parameters and production requirements to optimize performance across awide variety of materials. SineWave technology can be applied for light, moderate oraggressive cutting action.Supplied only in welded-to-length bands, Simonds SineWave technology is ideal forblades cutting high chrome, tool, die, stainless and nickel based steels. The technologyis a proven solution for cutting titanium and other exotic metals and can be used onalmost all bandsaw machines.SineWave Engineering Rocks!SineWaveSineWave’s rocking motion ensures better toothpenetration for faster cutting rates while allowing theblade to cut with less pressure, extending blade life Lighter Machine Pressure Reduced Sawblade Strain Faster Cutting Longer LifeActual SineWave finish on high nickel om75ConventionalBlades
